In this court, judge manlee has seen a trend that discourages him. More and more defendants who should be talking to a Mental Health professional or a doctor, not a judge. The court system has been the place to send people who are mentally ill as opposed to keeping them in treatment in the community. Is santa clara doing enough to address the mental ill in our society . No, theyre not. I dont think any people are. According to court records, manlee sentence tied rhd tyree, appeared in front of him at least three other times, for three years. They were trying to find a bed for him while he sat in jail. While the judge would not talk specifically about his case, he did tell me he had 500 other people who he had released from jail but who are now being kept in the jail waiting for a bed in a Mental Health facility. We have waiting lists of individuals i have ordered released from jail to go into treatment. Its not an issue of punishment, the punishment is over. The question now is what treatment can we give people . Judge manlee also testified this afternoon before the Mental HealthSteering Committee to recommend more Mental Health spending by santa claras board of supervisors. This is not a problem unique to Santa Clara County, either. According to this report from stanford university, the population of mentally ill patients in californias prisons almost doubled since 2000. And this report from the Treatment Advocacy Center shows that severely mentally ill prisoners are more likely to be in california jails than in hospitals. Well stay on this story. Raj .

I dont feel comfortable, i want a break from school. I want to do my homework in comfort. You get dehydrated, you just want to sleep. Thats basically it. You dont want to do nothing besides just not Pay Attention and that takes away from the whole point of going to school.

Its been slow with everything. I just dont like it. Its the anniversary of the worst day of our lives. Reporter five years have done little to dull the pain when a pg e transmission line exploded in a fireball that burned for 17 and a half hours, taking lives of neighbors. We had children die, we had moms and dads die, we had grandparents die. Am i angry . Yes. I couldnt breathe. It was like an oven. It was terrible to take a breath. It was like breathing fire, it was so hot. So i knew i was going to die. Reporter maria barr is another survivor. Steel was melted, glass was melted.

Reporter time has healed some scars. 22 of the homes destroyed have families in them again and two more are being built. Pg e reiterated its apology. We remain deeply sorry for the tragedy. We must never forget the lessons of september 9, 2010. Though the utility has replaced miles of cast iron pipe, replaced emergency shutoff valves and replaced gas sensors, some say its still living in the shadows. This past holiday the utility filed motions to try to get 22 motions filed against it dismissed. I think they pocketed that amount of money as bonuses instead of really working on the line and inspecting it and getting the changes done. Those people are responsible. Reporter in a statement, pg e said its employees acted in good faith and did not intentionally violate the federal Pipeline Safety act. Still, san brunos mayor is calling for jail time. Meanwhile the utility has been fined 1. 6 billion and has paid another half billion to victims families. Lets take you over here to south bay. We have some breaking news coming out of san jose. We want to show you photos sent in to us by a viewer. This is a limo on fire during rush hour. This is 880 near the Stephens Creek exit. Thats the Valley Fair Mall you see there, and what you see behind that photograph is the parking structure theyre building right behind the mac s macys. Heres what we hear happened. A limo driver saw smoke coming out of the car. They believe it was an electric fire. All members of a band presumably traveling to a gig or something. When they had to pull over, they were able to get out of the car. It got engulfed like this. Right now traffic is snarled in that area. That fourth lane, which is the closest to Valley Fair Mall, that one is also tied up. But again, this limo fire happening just a short time ago and a viewer sending in this photo. I want to tell you everyone is okay, which of course brings back bad memories of that fire in a limousine that happened a couple years ago on the san mateo bridge where several women died. In this case everyone was okay and able to get out safely. Rock bottom, thats how Police Officers in san jose are describing the new academy class. The number of cadets is a record low despite good news of a new Labor Agreement with the city. Nbc Sammy Trujillo joins me from Police Headquarters where many are saying it cant get worse than this, and many were anticipating the numbers would be better this time around. The last graduating class graduated 18 cadets and that was a new record low. The next Academy Graduation next month has even fewer. Get your hands up in the air reporter even with todays temperatures, the Current Academy class spent the day practicing in the heat. 15 cadets are slated to graduate in the coming weeks. When the next academy begins in october, the number attempting to join the force is even more dismal. 13 recruits have been hired. Historically only 7 or 8 of them will actually make it to graduation. Have we hit rock bottom . Hopefully this academy will be rock bottom. Reporter the smallest, perhaps, in department history. The bad news comes after good news, the announcement of a labor settlement with the city that ended years of bitter pension and pay fights between the city and police where hundreds of officers left the force for other departments. The Police Union Says that Labor Agreement still has to be signed by the courts, and that could take weeks or months. It really underscores the reason why we need to get the new negotiated settlement implemented as soon as possible, so we can bring our academies back up to the 60 theyre capable of withholding. Reporter in a statement the city said, quote, everyone understands that rebuilding the San Jose Police department will take time, and well be working together with the poa to recruit both new applicants and former san jose officers to join our department. Were confident our renewed partnership with poa will help us achieve this critical goal. For now trainers are putting these cadets through the rigors to ensure that being a san jose cop is really what they want. They have only 13 cadets in the next academy but they had only 2,000 applicants. They will not complicate the standards.

For the next ten months you can attend free super bowl parties at 235 in the city. A traveling mobile exhibit will be traveling around the bay area showing the eight super bowl trophies won by the 49ers and the raiders. Everyone knows the San Francisco bay area, great tourist attraction. But the whole world will have that view before the super bowl. You want the bay area to shine during that time. We will be shining. How about a free concert as well . Heres the deal. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 30, train, the bay area band, and Eric Goulding at justin area plaza. The nfl season kicks off tomorrow night right here on nbc bay area. Good matchup, the steelers and the patriots. Our coverage begins at 4 30. If you go out to Justin Herman plaza tomorrow, bring water. Youll need lots and lots of water to stay cool. No classic San Francisco fog as we head through the forecast, so temperatures will be in the 80s at the start of that concert. If we get a look outside, were holding onto a lot of this heatup in the north bay, San Francisco 79, south bay 91 and the east bay 1102 degrees. When you average these temperatures together, 101 in brynwood and lafayette to yarinda, into the 80s. We are seeing slightly cooler weather dropping into the 80s. Lets get this out of the way. Tomorrow will be just as hot on your thursday forecast. Well go up to 101 in the south bay. Trivalley 106, San Francisco 85, and for the north bay 104. Fire danger will be high as that humidity will be low. You want to remember a couple things. It seems like common sense, but dont forget that water. Heat exhaustion can catch up with you quickly. We are expecting some cooling temperatures, it looks like, by saturday. Thats when numbers will be dropping the most. We should go down t
